Data Structure MCQ - Queue

This section focuses on the "Queue" of the Data Structure. These Multiple Choice Questions (mcq) should be practiced to improve the Data Structure skills required for various interviews (campus interview, walk-in interview, company interview), placement, entrance exam and other competitive examinations.

1. Which one of the following is an application of Queue Data Structure?

A. When a resource is shared among multiple consumers.
B. When data is transferred asynchronously (data not necessarily received at same rate as sent) between two processes
C. Load Balancing
D. All of the above
